Where did it all go wrong?

a lowly customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Working with awesome people who are now quitting one by one 2. Hope things will turn around, a fool's hope

Cons

1. The company slaves you by "keeping it human" 2. Upper management are detached from reality and they think they know better. 3. So very unorganized, "going with the flow" has its limits 4. For a company that flants to have billions of dollars saved up in the bank, they sure act stingy.
